Hog roast hire for your event in Ninfield
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Ninfield, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. For festive gatherings and Fêtes, fairs and shows, we can cook spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Ninfield, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Ninfield hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Ninfield questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburnham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
East Sussex is part of our area. Contact us for a price.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Ninfield: venues, access and local tips
Ninfield is about 3 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Ninfield and the surrounding area are covered for events. Ninfield is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 24 miles away.
Thinking of a hog roast in Ashburnham Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. PTAs at schools such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Ninfield is within about 8 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access.
We bring hog roasts to events all over TN33 and the streets around it. From High Street, Moons Hill and The Green or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Ninfield sits on or near the B2095, so getting the roaster to your event is simple. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Russell's Green (1 mile south), Hooe Common (1 mile south), Lunsford's Cross (1 mile south-east), Catsfield (1 mile north-east) and Watermill (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Eastbourne (9 miles south-west), Hastings (6 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (3 miles south-east), Hailsham (7 miles west), St Leonards (6 miles east) and Uckfield (15 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Bexhill Hospital (3.5 miles south-east) and Herstmonceux Castle (3.8 miles west). Within reach you’ll find Senlac Hill and Gillham Wood.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Around midsummer it stays light in Ninfield until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
